Well done them, pity sbs decided to mention nazi cars right near the start of the article.
Nissan aren't really Nazi's but the head was charged with war crimes after WW2 wasn't he? They had a factory using forced labour in China or Japan. Either way fucked up
What was the other car brand and what did the man most famously associated with it do at an inauguration rally
I hear you but wanted to make a point that the other brand (and most old brands) have done some pretty shameful shit. Musk is of questionable character and supports people that aren't great for the common man but his company isn't building tanks to kill Chinese civilians or trucks to transport Jews to concentration camps. His car is currently just a car, I wouldn't buy it but it's just a car.
well that's the thing, isn't it? have done. Musk is still actively doing it.
Musk is killing people?
Dude....,
Most of the planet survives without government handouts. The American people voted in a guy that said he was going to cut the funding of all these programs and then did it. Blame USA citizens for this. Musk and Trump said they would do these horrible things then people there voted for it. Crazy to believe that the system does as intended and gives the power to the majority.
I had a wank yesterday which could have turned into a baby, that doesn't make me a killer
Sure, but if you close down a soup kitchen and people die from starvation, don't you think that's a bit different? We could also cover how USAID propped up American soft power and farmers, but Elon doesn't care about those either.
Musk said he would close the soup kitchen if Trump got selected and then the citizens of USA elected Trump. They got what they wanted. Elon only cares about Elon but from what I can see USA citizens only care about themselves too so the only difference is scale.
Secret sauce is sun sauce.
No mention of how they get their power at night or when the sun isn’t shining during the day?
They probably assume most readers are familiar with batteries.
Alt-right is gonna update the magnets meme:
"Batteries, how do they work?"
For households in Yack making the switch today, a combined solar and battery system costs around $15,000 after the federal government's battery rebate, Charles-Jones says.
Cool, same as everywhere else in Australia. How many of them actually have batteries? Doesn’t say, so we can only assume it’s an extremely low percentage since they specifically mention the exact percentage that have solar.
Not really sure what point you're trying to make. Care to explain?
They’ve supposedly “cracked Australia’s energy problem”, which is where we get our power from when “renewables” don’t work.
How did they solve it? They don’t say anything about solving that problem. We already know that solar gives people power during the day. Night time has always been the roadblock.
